Pittsburgh
I went back to Pittsburgh last Sunday. The main purpose is to give mock interviews to the students there.
I took Continental airlines this time and connected in Cleveland. The plane from Cleveland to Pittsburgh was a very small one. It only holds 19 passengers. I have never flown this kind of plane before, so was pretty excited. I took some photos with my cellphone and will upload them later. All passengers have to board from the ground. The stairs are integrated to the plane gate and the plane is propeller-driven. No air hostess is on board. I arrived in Cleveland in 3:30pm Sunday afternoon, got to Pittsburgh at 7:30pm but the two cities are only 1 hour and a half's drive away...
As usual, all activities in Pittsburgh are talking. Talking to professors, students, staffs, friends (fewer and fewer), and my colleagues in the company thru tele-conferences. I managed to watch PB and 24, two of my favorite series though.
I was almost stuck in Cleveland on Tuesday night. There was only 10 minutes connecting due to the delay of the flight from Pittsburgh to Cleveland. I arrived at Austin at 12am, but would have a early Wednesday meeting at 9am.
The next trip to Pittsburgh will be the end of April.
